Get pressed keys in J2ME with GameCanvas

Question

I would like to get whether (for example) the 3 key is pressed (KEY_NUM3).
I have tried getKeyStates but it only detects the game action keys.
How could I get the states of non-game action keys?
(I have overridden the keyPressed and keyReleased functions of Canvas and storing the key states in an array (I'm using a Vector for storing but I think could store them in an array too, if that's the problem), but this does not seem to be very nice)

Answer 1

in your keypressed use the keyCode passed in like so

protected void keyPressed(int keyCode)

{ //try catch getGameAction as can legally throw an exception

int gameAction = getGameAction(keyCode);

switch(gameAction)
{
    case UP:
        break;
    case DOWN:
        break;
    case LEFT:
        break;
}

switch(keyCode)
{
    case KEY_NUM1:
        break;
    case KEY_NUM2:
        break;
    case KEY_NUM3;
        break;
}
